Summary

In the Linux kernel, the SCTP Adaptation Indication parameter length was not properly validated. A header-only parameter was accepted, leading to an out-of-bounds read and potential disclosure of four receive-buffer tail bytes.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to disclose kernel memory fragments, potentially leaking sensitive data.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update that enforces the parameter length to match the expected structure.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: validate Adaptation Indication parameter length The Adaptation Layer Indication parameter contains a fixed 32-bit Adaptation Code Point after its parameter header. However, sctp_verify_param() accepts a header-only parameter because the generic parameter walker only requires the header to be present. sctp_process_param() then reads adaptation_ind beyond the declared parameter. When the malformed parameter is last in an INIT, the read starts at the receive skb tail, and the value is copied into the state cookie returned in the INIT ACK. This may disclose four receive-buffer tail bytes. Require the declared parameter length to match the fixed structure size and abort the association through the existing invalid parameter length path otherwise.
